Book Trip   [A Trip to Literary Museums ⑩] Two Masters of Modern Literature Who Spent Their Entire Lives Completely Immersed in Their Works Nonsan-si, Chungcheongnam-do: Kim Hongshin House andGanggyeong Mountain Salt Literary House   2025.02.17   Any city has a history that builds up over time, like the rings of an old tree. Cities grow and transform like organisms, and along the way, they develop many stories. Those stories, in turn, are the source of an area’s image, energy, and sentiment. Nonsan-si, located in the hinterland of Chungcheongnam-do, is home to many cultural heritage sites, including the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Donam Seowon, Jonghagdang, and Myeongjae Historic House. There are also many other attractions, such as the beautiful Ganggyeong Port, which still retains traces of its prosperity through the years of modernization, and Tapjeong Reservoir and Suspension Bridge, where you can experience the feeling of walking on a lake.

Leading the Renaissance of Modern Korean Literature Through Various Activities

Book Trip   [A Trip to Literary Museums ⑨] Leading the Renaissance of Modern Korean LiteratureThrough Various Activities Hwaseong-si, Gyeonggi-do: Nojak Literature House   2025.01.06   The transformation of a city is sometimes more surprising and wondrous than sangjeonbyeokhae (桑田碧海), which is translated as “a field of mulberry trees transforms into a blue sea.” Hwaseong-si, Gyeonggi-do, is a large area straddling both the inland and the sea, and was once a small village connected to Suwon-si, Gyeonggi-do. It was then transformed by the development of a large industrial complex and a new town. Stepping away from the dense factories and apartment complexes, Hwaseong is a city where you can feel the atmosphere of the sea with beautiful sunsets, as well as a city with a long history of cultural heritage. Among its many treasures is the Nojak Hong Sa-Yong Literature House, which breathes the spirit of culture and art into the city, elevating its character. We ...

Poetry Collections: The Trend of the Era and the Compass of the Heart

Topic   Poetry Collections: The Trend of the Era andthe Compass of the Heart   2024.12.02   The rise of Korean poetry and its global takeoff   There have been a number of “unusual” scenes in Korean literature in recent years. If I told you that Korean poetry is at the center of it, would international readers believe me? The proportion of readers in their 20s and 30s buying poetry books is increasing. The share of teenagers is also increasing, not to mention the number of poetry books being published. It is no longer strange or unfamiliar to see people transcribing poems. There are even bookstores in Korea that sell only poetry books. It’s a curious thing. Haven’t we all moved on to YouTube, TikTok, and Netflix? The thing that’s being “unlocked” should be smartphones, not poetry books, isn’t it?The year 2024 is poised to be a monumental year in Korean literary history. It is 100 years since the publication of Chu Yo-Han’ first poetry collection Beau...

Book Trip   [A Trip to Literary Museums ⑥] The Hometown Scenery That Becamethe Literary Roots of a Modern Boy Pyeongchang-gun, Gangwondo: Gasan (可山) Lee Hyo-Seok Memorial Hall   2024.10.07   Fall in Pyeongchang begins with the white buckwheat blossoms. The buckwheat fields that cover the vast expanse of Bongpyeong-eup in white create a dreamlike beauty in combination with the blue sky. In his novel When Buckwheat Flowers Bloom, writer Lee Hyo-Seok described this view as “I could hardly breathe in the soft moonlight as if it were sprinkled with salt.” Pyeongchang hosts the “Hyoseok Culture Festival” to spotlight the literary world of Gasan (Lee’s pen name) Lee Hyo-Seok, including When Buckwheat Flowers Bloom in September, when you can stroll through a field of buckwheat flowers as if you were walking into a scene from the novel. It’s a great example of how a writer’s masterpiece can have a profound impact on local culture.   Ou...

Korea’s Publishing Trend - The World Literature Complete Collection

Topic   Korea’s Publishing Trend- The World Literature Complete Collection   2022.05.02   At the end of a recently finished drama, “Our Beloved Summer,” a book titled I Like Early Summer written by Lee Na-Eun, was shown. The book does not exist in reality since it was a prop. The name Lee Na-Eun was the name of the drama's screenwriter. The book continuously shows itself as one of the key items connecting the main characters. It revealed itself in the last episode as a gift to viewers.Many viewers would have noticed that the book is similar to Minumsa Publishing Company's World Literature Series. The upper half is filled with a drawing, and the lower half is covered with a white background and a single-colored title. The cover's structure is a symbol of Minumsa's collection. The fact that people recognized the book by its cover shows how much Koreans are familiar with the collection.   In the drama, “Our Beloved Summer,” a book th...

The Korean Book Importing Success Story of AST, a Russian Publisher

Export Case   The Korean Book Importing Success Story of AST, a Russian Publisher The Weakest Spirit in the World by Kim Dong-sik   2022.01.03   The story behind the Russian edition of The Weakest Spirit in the World (Yodabooks) by Kim Dong-sik is not very common for a commercial publisher. Still, I hope it could help small and niche imprints that prefer building long-lasting relations with their readers to a hit-and-run strategy.   Cover of The Weakest Spirit in the World, Russian edition     At Lingua, we predominantly publish textbooks, dictionaries, etc., for those learning foreign languages. In late 2016, our first Korean textbook came out to test our hypothesis and became a huge success, so we devised a concise publication strategy for this language. To our great surprise, few Korean literary translations were published at the time. We decided to exert ourselves as learning the language als...

Movie Critic’s Pick

One-Liner Quotes   Movie Critic’s Pick   2022.01.03     Though Korean literature never won a Nobel Prize (I believe it is not a big deal), there are countless great pieces. Many literary works will deliver globally appealing stories as Koreans have gone through overwhelming events. Modern Korean history is full of incidents and has been written into works of literature thanks to the writers' efforts to reflect their experience of overcoming catastrophic events. Koreans experienced war, poverty, dictatorship, and the democratic movement in a short period. Hence, it is only natural for novelists to capture the times in their works.North and South (Moonji Publishing Company), written by Hong Sung-won, is one of the masterpieces that the world would recognize. This saga was written in 1977 and showed the Korean war, the horrific fall of humans as a species, and the tenacious vitality that regenerates life as characters overcome ...
